Nearly one-in-five people said they’ve had a political disagreement with a neighbor, according to a new survey released on Wednesday.
The poll, released by real-estate firm RedFin, found that 18.7 percent of respondents had a disagreement with their neighbors over politics. When split by gender, more men had disagreements on the topic, 27.1 percent, than women, 13.4 percent.
Almost a quarter of those polled, 23.1 percent, said they are voting for the Republican nominee, former President Trump. Some 19.5 percent said they are casting a ballot for Vice President Harris.
The younger generation was the most likely to disagree over politics, the survey found. Some 26.4 percent of Gen-Z said they had a disagreement with a neighbor when talking about politics. Millennials were second at 23.5 percent, Gen-X at 14.3 percent while baby boomers were at 13.6 percent.
Almost 12 percent of the survey respondents said they had a disagreement with a neighbor over racial issues. Men were slightly more likely to say they’d had such a disagreement than women, 15.3 percent to 9.5 percent.
The survey also found that nearly one-in-three, 30.4 percent, of respondents said they “regularly” talked about politics with their neighbors, with men doing it a higher frequency, 40.9 percent, than women, 24 percent.
Nearly one-in-four Trump voters, 39 percent, “regularly” discuss politics with their neighbors, over 7 points higher than Harris’s voters at 32.7 percent.
The Redfin-commissioned poll was conducted by Ipsos in September among 1,802 homeowners and renters aged 18-65.
